Green roofs are gaining popularity in cities around the world as buildings are designed to be increasingly environmentally sensitive. Green roofs are one element of a buildings design that can help to prevent the heat island effect and provide outdoor community areas for inner-city residents. A challenge with green roofs is drainage. It’s important to remove water to prevent damage to the building’s structure, whilst maintaining a natural ecosystem for plants to grow and thrive. ACO has an innovative solution to combat this: ProfiLine. It’s a surface AND subsurface drainage system that captures surface water and subsurface water through perforations in the side wall of the channel. This design allows water to move into the channel through soil, gravel and sandy areas, without the need for ag pipe systems. The channels simply click together, so if the community landscaped garden is reconfigured into a community veggie garden, the drainage can easily be reconfigured, too. On World Green Roof Day, we’re so excited to see green roofs continue to grow (pardon the pun) in popularity and are thrilled to be part of the solution.

Normally, #NordArt2020 would have opened its doors next Saturday and celebrated the beginning of the cultural summer with thousands of visitors. This summer, however, the Carlshütte site will be silent – NordArt has been postponed to next year and also no events can take place in this year.On Sunday we would like to show you a film as a review of past years of NordArt (Link will be posted in our Bio on Sunday) #carlshütte #büdelsdorf #lookingforwardtonextyear #nordart2021 #art #artspace #artexhibtion

WAITING for #NordArt2021 •The 7-meter high sculpture "Cake Tower" by the Czech sculptor Andrej Margoč magnetizes the eyes without compromise. The main theme is sugar – a raw material that has symbolized prosperity and power for centuries and has now become the silent demon of consumption. #sculpture #sculptureart #sugar #tower #caketower #art #artist #nordart #carlshütte #Büdelsdorf #lookingforward
